Not me.  Nicos, I think you could get Mario to nominate a KDE expert
on licensing to help you on this one.

Here are a couple of references:
http://techbase.kde.org/Policies
http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy

I think there is also an effort to police this policy, via a set of code-vetting
software called English Breakfast Network (EBN, for short), see

        http://ebn.kde.org/

I have sometimes received a reminder about licences in my code … ;-)

> I recall that you both have written in some previous posts (on MACPORTS-DEVEL as well as KDE-DEVEL) about these annoying license conflicts which force us on MacPorts to build more ports from source than we’d like, since we can’t use binary port distribution for them. (Of course, I could try to hunt for those lines of you two in my Mail.app, but perhaps you’re faster than me. :-D )
